SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 574,950, dated January12, 1897.

Application filed November 17, 1896. Serial No. 612,519. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ADAM SCHEID, a citizen of the United States,residing in Harrison, Hudson county, and State of New Jersey, haveinvented certain new and useful Im provements in Spindles; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad to theaccompanying drawing, and to letters of reference marked thereon, whichforms a part of this specification.

The object of my present invention is to provide a spinning-spindle witha support whereby yielding movement is given to said spindle and whichyielding movement is easil y controlled and regulated.

The invention consists in the improved spindle-support and in thecombination and arrangement of the various parts thereof, substantiallyas will be herein after more fully described and finally embodied in theclauses of the claim.

In the drawing, which represents a front elevation, partly in section,of my improved spindle-support, a represents the spindle-rail, providedwith a vertical circular hole a, which is penetrated by the tube 1),containing step and bolster bearing and having a diameter slightlysmaller than the diameter of the hole a. The tube 1) is provided with anannular flange c, resting on the elastic washer d, arranged on the rail,and is also provided below the rail or with a substantially triangulargroove forming on said tube an upright cone 7t, adapted to be engaged bythe setscrew m, which latter is horizontally arranged in the ring orcollar h. Said collar is loose on said tube and bears on an intermediateelastic washer 2', all as clearly shown in the drawing.

The spindle e is arranged in the tube 1) and is provided with the sleevef and whirl g, by means of which motion is imparted to the said spindle.

From the foregoing it can be seen that the tube containing step andbolster bearing for the spindle e is flexibly mounted on the rail a andis held therein by the ring or collar h, which latter is adj ustablysecured on the tube 1), the set-screw m engaging the incline or uprightcone is, arranged in said tube. By simply adjusting the said set-screwthe flexibility is regulated without disturbing the locking mechanism,that is to say, while the screw is being adjusted it remains inengagement with the incline and thus prevents a withdrawal of the tube.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure byLetters Patent, is

1. The combination with the spindle-rail, of a tube containing step andbolster bearing flexibly mounted on said rail and provided below saidrail with a substantially triangular groove forming on said tube anupright cone, a ring or collar 011 said tube and over said groove, aset-screw in said ring or collar and engaging said cone, and awhirl-driven spindle in the tube, all said parts, substantially as andfor the purposes described.

2. The combination with the spindle-rail, of a tube containing step andbolster bearing flexibly mounted on said rail and provided below saidrail with a substantially triangular groove forming on said tube anupright cone, a ring or collar on said tube and over said groove, anelastic washer between said collar and the rail, a set-screw in saidring or collar and engaging the cone of the tube, and

a whirl-driven spindle in the tube, all said parts, substantially as andfor the purposes described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this14th day of October, 1896.
